Ouch!  I have a fantastic job, and I doubt the NSA would want a 
50-year-old geek like me, but half of what really upsets me about all 
the recent news is I've always wanted to do crypto (as well as what I 
actually do - it's an ADHD thing).  The recent revelations just show 
that the NSA is good at their job.  Why would that discourage geeks like 
me?  Now comparing to Fox News... that's below the belt.  BTW, is there 
anywhere else that even matters in the industry?  Aren't they the 
elephant in the room?
